Book Report: The Bolter

When my mother passed on this book she warned me that it was quite gossipy. She was definitely spot on.

The true story of Idina Sackville runs the gamut from scandalous Edwardian British high society to a group of bed-hopping aristocrats camped out in African mansions. Everyone from Karen Blixen to the Queen is name dropped as Idina proceeds through five divorces with a lap dog named Satan by her side. Its a quick read that gives you a close look at the strange lives of the very rich during a period of great change in British culture.
